Ooh lordy, now I almost regret not reading the interview. This is comedy gold. (And as an aside, even on the Mac, which didn't have any video hardware besides a simple framebuffer, it didn't take the whole power of the processor to do graphics; the thing would've been completely unusable if it had.) Guy doesn't have a clue.
It just makes one wonder. Why would Jobs hire a sugared-water company CEO? Was there some hidden genius logic in that he must be brilliant in selling a 90-year old sugared-water brand around the world, so he must have the mad skillz to sell computers around the world?
I mean, I would think Sculley's contacts would be 50% bottling plants around the world, cola nut growers, 40% marketing/branding people and ad agencies, and perhaps 10% the other non-food industry contacts.
How did his skills/experience fit into Apple's plan of dominating the world of personal computers?
Sculley (to board): Sure, yeah, I know this guy who has a bottling plant in Argentina, I could tell him to mold the casings for us. I'm sure we could use bottle crate plastic for the new models. We could probably even tell him to use the same colors as for the crates. I hear in Argentina they're baby blue crates.
Years later Jobs brings out the baby blue iMac; thanks to Sculley
